Artex removal for Ampfield
Artex removal for Ampfield properties
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. We often deal with stipple finishes, swirl patterns and textured walls, and typical jobs are ceilings due for plastering or skimming and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights.
Rural homes near Ampfield have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Common questions in Ampfield
Do you cover small places like Ampfield?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Ampfield homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both work; it depends on the room. We will explain the options.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but don’t sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Limits to be aware of
The usual limits are:
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Other materials may need their own approach
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.

Materials, one by one
Textured walls
Walls can have textured coatings too.
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Step by step
We soften the coating and take it off by hand, never sanded or scraped dry. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there’s no confusion.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We sample the coating first
- We plan the method and quote
- We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
- The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out previous surveys
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
